Stick’s Redline Garage: Hairy Hauler
The Hairy Hauler! This has to be one of the craziest looking castings from the 70’s. I like to think that this might what have resulted if a Heavyweight casting was given to Jesse James at Monster Garage (if Jesse worked for Mattel in the 70’s!!).
Obviously, Jesse James was not the designer of the Hairy [...]
Stick’s Redline Garage: Turbofire
Turbofire! It’s concept speaks speed, style, and imagination. This casting shows the artistic depth and imagination of designer Ira Gilford. If this car was built in 1-to-1 scale it would probably wear a custom badge from the Winfield or Barris shops and would be finished in a 50’s style, custom fade candy paint scheme. It’s [...]

Based off the 1967-1970 Ford Thunderbird, and working off the 1968 Hot Wheels Custom T-Bird casting, this car was significantly re-styled and re-proportioned by Ira Gilford. It has an exposed metal [...]
